BBC hot air

The BBC is busy pushing some programs about Climate change and polluting their news site with cod stories about it, including the results of a survey..BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Britons unsure of climate costs

Yet despite the levels of knowledge and concern that the questioning revealed, 43% of respondents said they expected climate change to have not very much effect on them personally, with 9% saying it would have no effect at all.
Perhaps this goes some way to explain the frustration of those convinced that climate change is a huge threat.
Until we believe it will make a difference to us and to our children, we are unlikely to take it seriously enough to do anything very much about it.
On this showing, more than half of us still expect it will leave us largely unscathed. So it remains a problem for someone else to worry about.

With any luck the sun will be shining and I can sit out on the terrace at my tropical hardwood table drinking something long and cold with out having to worry about what is the television, though if it chilly I might have to get a "Patio" heater. That is the way to deal with climate change.
